A.R. Big Idea: Many important practical and mathematical applications involve comparing quantities of one kind or another; it is important to know which method to use and how we should use them. Essential Question: What methods are there for comparing things? Problem 1.3: Suppose you were asked to write a news story about the popularity of camping in the United States based on the data of the table. A: What headline would you use for your story? What would your first sentance be?
My Headline would be: Age Groups of 25-34 year olds beat the age group of 12-17 by a ratio of 41808000 to 21304000 people. Age group of 25-34 go camping more than the age group of 12-17. Ages 18-24 also beat the ages 12-17 by a ratio of 26650000 to 21304000. Age group 25-34 beat age group 18-24 by a ratio of 41808000 to 26650000.
B: Write 5 statements you could use in your story to compare the popularity among people in three age groups. In each statement be clear about which groups you are comparing. Your comparisons should be specific and based on mathematics.
- Age Groups of 25-34 year olds beat the age group of 12-17 by a ratio of 41808000 to 21304000 people.
- Age group of 25-34 go camping more than the age group of 12-17.
- Age group 25-34 beat age group 18-24 by a ratio of 41808000 to 26650000.
- The difference of 12-17 and 18-24 is 18-24 won by 5346000 people.
- The difference of 18-24 and 25-34 is 25-34 won by 15158000 people.
Problem 1.3 F.U: According to the data what percent from age 12 to 34 go camping atleast twice a year.
About 50% of people from age 12 to 34 go camping atleast twice a year.
